To ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether he has set annual targets for the disposal of assets owned by his Department; and if he will make a statement.
Peter Luff
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Defence
When the Ministry of Defence's (MOD) materiel or equipment becomes surplus to requirements, it is disposed of through the Disposals Services Authority who are tasked with obtaining the best possible return for the taxpayer.
There are no annual targets for disposal of MOD assets but the Disposals Services Authority has been set performance objectives for receipts, service delivery, avoidance of landfill, customer satisfaction and budgets.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
